PFMJ's little SAGE grow
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 3:51 pm
Just wanted to share a little of what I am working on, I had a few SAGE seeds to work with, I put 10 seeds in my Ferry Morse germinating tray, and ended up only have 5 germinate, two of those 5 died, I am pretty sure the seeds cooked in the germinating tray, a problem which I won't let happen next time.
So I am working with 3 plants, one of which has already shown a female pre-flower.
I have taken 7 clones from this one, and just started flowering the lady yesterday.
The two other plants will be sexed in a week or so, from the growth patterns of them I am thinking one is female, and one male, if I get 2-3 females I will be a happy camper!
Right now all the light in the flowering area consists of two warm 3000k CFL's, one 42 W & the other 40 W, as well as a 150W HPS that I made from a cheap security light I got from Home DePOT a few years back, so that is 232 Watts total.
The flowering area is an unused bathroom, I know bathrooms are not prime locations, but those whom have seen my past grows over the years know that I have always grew in a bathroom...
I need to get a little fan for the bathroom, right now I only have a fan in the vegg area...
My vegg area has a little more light than the flowering area, but eventually the flowering area will have a few more watts.
Right now I have around 240 Watts of CFL's (a mixture of warm & cool CFL's)
For soil I am using Experts Professional Potting Mix, with perlite, dolomite limestone, and diatomaceous earth, and blackstrap molasses.
For vegging nutes I am currently using some liquid miracle grow plant food, and will be using some Experts Organic granules added to the soil eventually, I just need to get some extra money...
For flowering I will be using some miracle grow (as much as I have not liked it in the past) I do remember all Uncle Ben has said about miracle grow, and about organice nutes becoming chemical before they can be taken in, so I am not too worried.
I do have some old nutes, a half of a bottle of Earth Juice Micro Blast, and Meta K, a nice sized bottle of liquid humus, and about a pound of Jamaican Bat Guano.
Eventually I'd like to be back to 100% organic, but that will take some extra money.
I won't be constantly updating this, but I figured it would be nice to have a place to post updates once and a while..
